(MSC News)--Voters in area northeast Kansas counties will go to the polls Tuesday to decide city and school board races.
In addition, voters in Jackson and Marshall Counties will face special questions.
In Jackson County, voters will decide whether a one-quarter percent countywide retailers' sales tax should be imposed to support the Holton Community Hospital.
If approved by voters, the tax would commence January 1st, 2026 and expire after 10 years.
The tax is expected to generate an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 annually.
Voters in Jackson Heights USD 335 will decide the fate of a $5 million general obligation bond issue to fund additions at each of the district's two schools.
If approved by voters, the bond issue would pay for an addition at the middle and high school that will include six new classrooms, along with an addition at the elementary school that will include two classrooms, a music room and a covered connection with the two buildings.
District officials say the bond issue will not require a tax increase.
In Marshall County, voters will decide if the sale of liquor by the drink should be allowed in public places without a 30 percent food sales requirement.
Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 am to 7 pm.
